Nonetheless, the use of clamps is still a very classic method. Using this approach gives a very professional look, and many people who use these will match the clamps and poles to their décor. Not only does it look professional it is one of the easiest ways to hang a rug, and most time efficient.

Using rug clips does not distribute the weight of the rug evenly, therefore causing many gaps in the sequence To start off the process, at the top of a rug, a Velcro strip is hand sewn. The furry side is attached to the rug, while the stiffer other side of the Velcro is connected to a wooden board via glue or staples.Using staple gun, attach the ‘hooked’ hard side of Velcro to the piece of wood. Staple about every 6 inches to ensure a strong hold. Prep your wall for hanging- measure the width of your rug and where you want the rug to fall. Hang the rod anchors to the wall using drill and screws. The rod should then be supported on two slightly angled nails or two screws in the wall; however, the rod can also be suspended from above with monofilaments. When done properly, none of the used apparatus should be visible from the front of the rug.

Location of rugs is also key never hang a rug above or near a heat source – especially above a fireplace or vent. Equally do not choose a wall that is directly facing the sun, as the exposure can still affect your rug and cause fading. Don’t choose a wall in direct sunlight as the exposure can be extremely damaging to your lovely rug. Just like casings, it is important to attach the Velcro in a completely straight line and not follow the edging of the rug as once again this will lead to an uneven finish. With heavier rugs, it is highly advised to use two strips of Velcro. Never attach your rug directly to the wall through nails. The weight of the rug can cause tearing or stretching of rugs which totally destroys the purpose of displaying a rug on a wall. 3. Painting RodsDo you have that favourite rug you want continuously on display, but without the wear and tear of being on the floor? Maybe it’s a rug from your travels or a family heirloom? Whatever the reason for wanting it mounted on the wall, the real question is how do you accomplish this desired look? Carpet clamps are, however, used less in museums, as the casing method is favoured more due to the fact that with rug clamps the weight of rug can become unevenly distributed, which can lead to the rug becoming warped over time and highly distorted.
